My name is Roberta and I'm new to this site. I've had 12 surgeries over
the past 25 years; 1 for removal of a healthy appendix and ruputured
cyst, 3 C-Section deliveries, 1 tubal pregnancy, 1 total hysterectomy
and 6 were for lysis of adhesions to the bowel, intestinal lining and
bladdar wall. Due to constant pain I also experience electrical
shock-like spasms on a daily basis. Like most everyone I've read about,
directly after surgery I receive 1 1/2 - 2 months of relief from pelvic
pain and spasms. Then slowly but surely the pain increases and the
frequency of these sometimes violent jolts or spasms escalte. I've
noticed other nuerological related responces to the pain, which
sometimes includes a head twitch or nerve reaction in some other part of
the body. Most always the epicenter is located near the area where the
most surgery work has taken place.Strange I know, but maybe, just maybe,
I'm not the only person experiencing these nerve wracking, body
thrashing electronic shock treatments. If so, I would greatly
appreciate some feedback. A voice, perhaps in the dark, who like me,
feels a little lost and hopeless. Also, what, if anything diet or
exercise wise can be done to help prolong or prevent a future surgery?
My last 2 were Oct. & Nov. of 99. An accidental 3 inch laser slice of
my intestine the last go around has made me very gun shy. Would love to
hear of any new proven treatments or barriers being used with any level
of success. Thank you for your compassion and understanding. I'm
greatful for this site and forum. Take care and God Bless. RB
